Participate in an annual pit firing event

12 hours Max 12 peopleFrom 50 euros per person

Participate in an annual pit firing event for a weekend. On Saturday afternoon the pieces are prepared and then placed in the firing pit which is turned on by a giant fire at sunset. Fired for 12 hours in a pit, these ceramic objects take on their colours when they are incandescent, as the pores open. The colours are fixed when the pots cool off and are thus painted with fire. Those who wish can camp on site, spouses and children are allowed to watch, and all can participate in modeling a 'Guardian of the Fire'. This firing event, although longer than the raku, includes a wonderful weekend surrounded by nature spent under the stars, where you observe Helen’s particular way of doing things. The price per person varies depending on the number of participants.
